Well i got to stop by for a little while, with a buddy of mine who is really wanting to find himself a dodge cummins
PM me if and when he is ready as I have a gentleman who is a very good friend of mine who specializes in finding unwanted Rams new homes and I am sure he can find him what he wants.His shop is in Dallastown,PA near me about an hour north of Baltimore.

BTW to anyone who is wondering...i was the young looking wide bodied fella in the red shirt with the other real wide bodied guy in a white shirt
I seen you guys wandering around while I was herding the trucks into the dyno room.I was the wide bodied fella who was carrying the noebook chasing all the dyno trucks around,LOL.BTW,I am a tad wider than you guys so relax,LOL.The "stackitis" disease you see running rampant at our shows was started along time ago by a TDR member who goes by Oasis-3.Cliff was the very first guy who stuck the hole in his bed and mounted the big tubes and since then us underbody exhaust guys are becoming extinct,LOL.Someone told me you guys were wandering around with your eyes looking like this the whole time you were there.. .

I was very glad to see my old buddy Shovelhead come up.He has been missing out due to work constraints and was a HUGE help to us all day long.Ed stood in the bay all day long with me and withstood all the dyno happenings while we caught up on old times and current stories.His help to our guys who did the cooking was greatly appreciated.Don't be such a stranger and slip out some more it was good to see you.BTW,that truck still is a sweet looking chariot.............Andy

Andy, I think that we're ALL in agreement that the biggest thanks should go to you. Without your help and guidance, these shows wouldn't be the successes they are. Before, with the organization, during, with keeping us all in line, and after, with your eloquent summaries, it is greatly appreciated.

You could easily write a book using your show summaries over the years. Thanks again, Andy.

P.S. -

Thanks to all our members who have put their faith in me as MDTDC Treasurer. More information will be forthcoming withing the next few days, as Don and I have some administrative and banking details to work out first. I'll then update the MDTDC site to reflect the new information, put up a thread about any changes. Please bear with us during the transition period. Thanks.

Scott

I just couldnt get over how there were no STCK trucks there...my old man and his buddy both have 04.5 600 trucks and as far as i can get them to mod them is bigger tires with a leveling kit.

Its really nice to go there and see all the trucks and I dont think a single truck was stock!

does your buddy locate unwanted perf. parts too? I am in search of a used hx-40 or a 35/40 hybrid to cool things off in the EGT department, let me know if you know of anyone selling a used one!

Thanks Andy.
Kudos to the crew at Kauffman's for the professional manner that they exhibit and the way they managed to get everyone on the rollers that wanted to give 'em a spin even though it carried them a little longer in to the day than they expected.
Nice Shop!

It was great to see all the folks out on what started as a rainy day, but turned into a wonderful get-together.
Thanks to all those who provided the eats, the grills, and the skills to cook everything to perfection.
If you went away hungry, it was your own fault.

Impressive number were put up by some, and others, still in search of more power will be burning up the long distance line to vendors on Monday.

Hope to see y'all again before the Fall Brawl.

Actually there was ONE lone stock Dodge owned by one of the newer TDR owners and its a 94.After his roll he said that it would be the last stock run for it,LOL.I have been around since we all began this deal a few years ago and can tell you that "stock" is becoming more and more extinct..........Andy

Mine is stock. Well, I DO have gauges, so I guess, techically, it isn't. Depends on how you look at it.

Many thanks to Kauffman's for hosting us, I'm glad we could leave the bay looking a lot nicer than we did last fall. It wasn't a big deal to drop the outside tires since they let us use their jack and air tools, and it saved time lining up in the bay.

Thanks to Andy for sorting out the big ol' mess that happend a few weeks ago and making this event a success.

Thanks to those who cooked and brought food. Nothing I ate tasted like diesel after I washed my hands.

Don Troxell, whatever kind of cake that was, you can bring it again! Thanks for documenting the proceedings, too.

And thank you SteamDave for bailing me out on that @#$%& pump screw!

Sorry to all who wanted KDP's killed, that governor spring job went wrong early and stayed that way for a while. I'll catch you at the next show, or maybe at my place. 2 hours, right Doug?

A few things I learned from my first dyno day:

- I NEED more horsepower
- Diesel truck owners are very patient about fat drunk guys crawling around under their trucks checking out stack installs
- I want stacks in the worst way
-12v trucks are far from extinct
-Having your ebrake on robs 85 horsepower on the dyno (my bad)
-I LOVE large black smoke clouds
-I NEED more horsepower!!!!

Big thanks to everyone that was patient in answering my dumb newbie questions and to the guys who spent their entire Saturday getting all sooty running the dyno. I hope to meet alot of you guys at future events. Thanks again!!!

MIke
